MIGDAL HAEMEK, Israel, March 4, 2014 /PRNewswire/ --

Camtek Ltd. (NASDAQ and TASE: CAMT) ("Camtek"), today announced that it has filed a shelf registration statement on Form F-3 with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). Under the shelf registration statement, once declared effective by the SEC, Camtek may offer and sell from time to time, in one or more public offerings, up to $50 million of equity or debt securities. In addition, the shelf registration, when declared effective, will permit a selling shareholder of Camtek to offer and sell up to 6,000,000 of Camtek's ordinary shares. All net proceeds from the sale of such ordinary shares by the selling shareholder will be received by the selling shareholder.

The specifics of any future offering, along with the prices, terms and the use of proceeds of any such securities offered by Camtek and the selling shareholder will be determined at the time of any such offering and will be described in detail in a prospectus supplement or supplements filed with the SEC at the time of any such offerings.

The securities registered may not be sold, nor may offers to buy be accepted, prior to the time the registration statement becomes effective.
